​What to expect during your session

​

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is not a massage. Clients are fully clothed, reclining on a treatment table. The therapist uses a light, safe touch that's different from other forms of bodywork. Although Craniosacral Therapy is very gentle, the effects can be powerful.  Experiences are individual and may differ from one session to the next. Some people talk a great deal, recalling memories. Others experience profound physical changes and pain relief. The number of sessions needed depends on your goals for healing and the nature of the disorder being addressed.

​

​​After your session

Immediately after your session you will likely feel blissfully relaxed. It is wise to listen to your body at this time, and give yourself some space to integrate the changes that were made during your session. A reduction in pain or an increase in function and range of motion may happen immediately, or gradually happen over the next few days or weeks. Some people may be aware of general aches and pains that 'come and go' for a few days after their session. Other people may feel a little emotional for a day or so after their session. These sensations are temporary and a normal part of your body's natural healing process.

​

Receiving regular sessions works on the 'layers' that have developed throughout your life (from accidents, injuries, falls, illnesses, surgery, stress, etc.). These layers are slowly peeled away, just as one would peel away layers of an onion. Some sessions you can leave you feeling pain relief, while other sessions could bring up emotions or memories long forgotten. Clients who approach their health care proactively receive the best results. Eating right, exercising to counteract stress, and minimizing environmental toxins are examples of being proactive.
